About this home
Welcome to this iconic Whidbey Island Colonial, inspired by the “Town of Tomorrow” as Demonstration Home No. 15 at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. After 86 years in the same family, this remarkable property has been lovingly preserved while thoughtfully expanded to reflect generations of passion for gardening, tulips, raising prize-winning Hackney horses, and cultivating abundant fruit trees. The grounds and home tell an evolving story of creativity and enduring charm, featuring mature apple, pear, and plum trees on the main property, along with a full apple orchard beside the iconic barn on the neighboring acre. Current owner Neal Noorlag Jr. further elevated the estate with the addition of “The Music Conservatory,” a stunning space designed and built in 2010. Inspired by a love of architecture, music, reading, and the arts, this unique masterpiece brings a sense of elegance and inspiration that must be experienced in person. Set on a rare in-town acre, with the neighboring acre and its equally iconic barn also included, the possibilities here are truly endless. Offered for the first time ever, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of history....
